80kts both,

Why should people be encouraged to continue to flog a dead horse.

It is their money and it is their choice where they put it.

Personally I can do allot more with £500 per year than receiving the BALPA log every now and again and letting the CC screw up my terms and conditions.

What we need is another union, BALPA has the monopoly at the moment and they are behaving like most companies in the same position - sitting on their laurels.

Try working out one day how much money they rake in from this airline alone and you might expect a little more representation than merely saying - " get yourself a CC and we will point you in the right direction but sit on our lazy backsides while we watch you struggle"

I will never be a BALPA member again until I see some much stronger action from BALPA themselves and not from pilots of the airline who call themselves the CC but can be influenced by management in some form or another.

Rant over
